Lone Star Ranger is the first book in a series by Renae Brumbaugh Green, a new-to-me author. It appears to be a re-release from 2015. Elizabeth and her brother, Evan, were on a pleasure trip shortly after the death of their father. Little did they expect to have Evan end […]
Oh, hooray! Another adventure series by Regina Scott. And it started out with a bang in The Matchmaker’s Rogue! Jess is the perfect hostess and knows just how to make everyone at the spa comfortable and happy. I adored the wonderful descriptions of her in this role and how marvelously […]
There is such a beauty to Laura Frantz’s writing style that resonates with my soul. Slipping into her stories is like slipping into my coziest pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate. Evocative, beautifully descriptive, with the ability to transport me to a different time that is at once familiar […]
I have really been enjoying the Mosaic Collection! As with the other stories, More than Enough is very touching with a strong spiritual message. Though viewed from both Gabe and Fiona’s perspectives, this is mostly Fiona’s story. I loved her tender heart and desire to save as many children from […]

Roseanna M. White presents one of the most beautiful analogies of forgiveness and grace that I have ever read. When Ara was wronged, and greatly so, she responded in such an gracious manner it stunned me. I know that grace is about God showing us kindness we don’t deserve. I […]
The Way of the Brave is such a gripping story! Susan May Warren is so good at creating characters who are brave and strong and yet broken. Both Orion and Jen had been traumatized by events in Afghanistan three years earlier. Jen had hoped to never see Ry again, fearing […]
Star was such an enigma. Her life had been completely transformed when she turned it over to Jesus. No longer an addict, she still bore the scars of her traumatic childhood. Literally and figuratively. I loved watching her struggle with the need for an escape from bad circumstances and then […]
I liked the premise of the story and the mystery behind Thad’s sudden jilting of May when he married her sister. Poor May had always felt inferior to her sister. It didn’t help that Thad’s mother treated her as if she was lazy and incompetent! Yet May had a kind […]
